SUMMARY
The DPA-Series offers both low impedance and High impedance outputs in one pack-
age Ideal for applications where high power and large quantity of long-line speaker
installation is required. The superior efficiency of a Class-D amplifier means higher
power output and greater compactness than an analog amplifier offers.

OVERVIEW
The DPA Series is a amplifier operate in 4 – 8 Ω/70V/100V modes and are capable
of delivering a total 1200 watts of Power. Respectively housed in 2 RU compact chas-
sis, these Class D amplifiers offer High power in reduced size and weight. The com-
bination Class D topology amplification circuitry combined with SMPS (Switch mode
Power Supplies) creates a high efficiency amplifier offering reduced power consump-
tion and low heat dissipation. The DPA-Series offers both low impedance and High
impedance outputs in one package Ideal for applications where high power and large
quantity of long-line speaker installation is required such as Airports Arena, shopping
malls, transportation stadiums or any large scale facilities.

CLASS D
Class D audio amplifier offer greater power efficiency over traditional amplifiers.
Among their advantages is their reduced physical size and lower heat dissipation.
They offer less than 1 % THD, total harmonic distortion with an increased signal to
noise ratio to 90 dB and a widened frequency response from 30 Hz~20 KHz

Class D audio amplifier offers greater than 90 % power efficiency over traditional am-
plifiers. SMPS - Switch mode power supply provides high efficiency and low weigh.
Among their advantages is their reduced physical size and lower heat dissipation. The
DPA series is fully equipped with a protection circuit against short circuit, overload,
power and DC output.

Same Powerful Output from a More Compact Amp

The superior efficiency of a Class-D amplifier means higher power output and greater
compactness than an analog amplifier offers. Only 2 rack units in size, the DPA Class
D audio amplifier with ECO Digital design offers greater than 90 % power efficiency
and lower heat dissipation over traditional low efficiency and noise from analog am-
plifier.
Efficiently Compact and Lots of Power
Class-D amplifiers overcome the inefficiencies of traditional Class-A or AB amplifiers.
The Inter-M DPA Class-D amplifiers transform very little power into heat so a higher
percentage of the power supply is transformed into the load. This results in a very
compact amplifier which needs less input power to produce very high output power.

Why Use Class D-Amplifiers

Class-D amplifiers deliver more output watts ratio to input AC power than conventional
analogue amplifiers. How? The Class-D amplifier’s PWM (Pulse Width Modulator)
modulates the original audio input signal with a triangulated signal wave which has
a much higher fixed frequency. The result is a digital signal which contains both the
input signal and a band of frequency components around the modulation frequency.
A LPF (Low Pass Filter) then filters out the high frequency pulses and the resulting
amplified output signal is then sent to the speakers.

EFFICIENCY EFFICIENCY

SMPS provides high efficiency and low weight

SMPS - Switch mode power supply provides high efficiency and low weigh. Among
their advantages is their reduced physical size and lower heat dissipation. SMPS offer
power efficiency and reduced power consumption over traditional amplifiers.

High Performance
The DPA-SERIES amplifier offers superior incomparable performance and hi-definition
sound with better S/N and THD than any other class D power amplifier in the market.

THD : Total harmonic distortion
THD: Total harmonic distortion stands. The lower THD means that the equipment
produces a more accurate reproduction by reducing harmonics added by electronics
and audio media.

S/N : Signal to Noise Ratio

S/N Ratio: stands for Signal to Noise Ratio expressed in dB. It is a measurement that
compares the level of a desired signal to the level of background noise. It is defined
as the ratio of signal power to the noise power. The higher the ratio indicates more
signal than noise.

The relationship between the output of amplifiers and the

impedance of speakers
The DPA amplifier can be used in both low impedance and high impedance applica-
tions. This is possible because the amplifier operates in a constant voltage output
hence delivering maximum power.

The following mathematical formula based on Ohms Law demonstrates the relationship
between speaker impedance, power and voltage.

Full Rated Output on DC 24 V backup operation
The DPA-Series amplifiers will deliver full program power output when operating in
DC backup mode.

Remote Power On/Off Control with control input

The user can control the Power On/OFF over long distance by using a simple dry
contact control input.

AC & DC Dual Power Operation

Simultaneous dual redundant AC and DC power operation offering un-interrupted
operation with 24 DC emergency backup battery in the event of an AC mains power
outage.

High power amplifier is A MUST,

not a choice for good sound quality!!

Priority Program Override

Each amplifier module has 2 audio inputs. The Primary program input, PGM and Pri-
ority input, PRI. The primary regular broadcast program input, PGM is interrupted and
over ridden by the Priority input, PRI, when a contact closure is received on the PRI
select terminal. This is Ideal for Emergency message broadcasting applications.

LED Display
Amplifier status monitoring is easy with a LED display
(Power on, Standby, Signal/-30 dB, -10 dB, Clip, fault, AC, DC).
